Laptop players? Your specs

[FrankFisher 46]

I need an idea of how well you can run DayZ I don't know how much to spend on a decent laptop.

[MichaeLK 16]

I wouldn't suggest playing THIS game on a laptop.

unless your laptop has a graphics card like nvidia 4xx - 5xx plus....

A decent 4-8 gbs ram.(ddr3)

and at least an i3-i5....

[Fooz (DayZ) 46]

well I play on a desktop but my friend I play with uses a Laptop, the specs being:

CPU: i7

RAM: 6GB DDR3

GPU: Integrated Intel Graphics

He plays on Low settings and it runs pretty smoothly

I am playin on:

ASUS N55SF

Intel® Core™ i5 2410M 2.3GHz

4GB DDR3 1333MHz SDRAM

NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 555M 2GB DDR3 VRAM

And I play on low-normal settings with 20-30 fps, I am little bit dissapointed because of performance with this graphics, but what can I do? Do you think that upgrading to 8GB RAM will help me?

[FrankFisher 46]

I don't know but from what I heard you need to spend heaps just to get an average laptop

[sudZ! 115]

I play this game on ultra with a laptop... but it's not a normal laptop.

samsung series 7 gamer

i7 2670qm

radeon 6970m

8gb ram

256gb SSD

Darkey... more ram MAY help, but won't make a huge difference. THe biggest change may be in getting an SSD, but they're pricey. Overall the 555m is your issue though.

I recently moved across the world and will be returning in a few years... hence, I didn't want a desktop.

I found this laptop for $900 on ebay, Usually retails around $2000 now. Obviously would never have spent that much

Yay ebay :)

I am running

Intel® Core i3 CPU M 380 @ 2.53GHz

6GB RAM

NVIDIA GeForce 315M 512MB

It runs at around 30FPS with tweaked normal settings. I was concerned about running the game before I purchased it too, so I downloaded the Arma II OA demo to double check :)

what are 4xx?

I mean nvidia graphics card version 400 and up....440,450,460(gt,glh,gtx)

um basically I suggest avoiding a laptop if possible.Too expensive and not upgradeable equals not the best choice for gaming.

Its a personal opinion, I'm looking at 600 and 500 cards, I have the money the money aswell.

Well I have my DayZ files on RAMDisk and I have disabled Antialiasing, Postprocess effects and changed Shadow Detail to Normal. I am new to PC gaming so a game running perfectly might mean something completely different to me ah xD

[MichaeLK 16]

Well if you don't care about money then go for it .

and in 2 to 3 years go for it again....cause that's the normal lifespan of a laptop :P

anyway hope I helped you a bit.

cya around mate.

You have your DayZ files on RAMDisk? What is that? Never heard about it...(Im not Native speaker) :P

Apparently the game relies on your hard drive speed heavily (I don't know the details). So using a software called RAMDisk you can make a small partition in your hard drive and make the game load DayZ from it. The partition you create would have a lot faster processing speed than your main drive.

I run ArmA on a shitty laptop

AMD Phenom II X3 N830

Radeon HD 6650M

4gb ddr3 ram

i play it with very-low settings, i don't care about the graphic cause i love this mod and the graphic it's not all :D

i run find on my gateway

[dnoparker@gmail.com 3]

Ignore what I have said xD I just ran fraps alongside DayZ and it is saying anywhere between 15 - 25. I clearly don't know what I am talking about when it comes to PC games aha! It all looks the same to me

[jetao2008@hotmail.com 175]

My friend has an Alienware M14x and he was complaining about the performance while playing DayZ, even at low/normal graphics settings.

I guess it must be rough playing on older laptops since a lot of PC players complain of the performance as well.

[EvoX (DayZ) 5]

My specs are:

Intel® Core™ i7

-2630QM

4GB RAM

Nvidia Geforce GT540M

And i play DayZ on normal settings pretty smoothly ;)

So you don't need such a beast PC to play it...

[syncmaster (DayZ) 63]

Running it on:

i7 2630QM

gtx 560m

8gb ram

I actually think this game looks awesome on medium settings (720 res). I do get some slowdown when I zoom in, but the game runs pretty good. I've been able to max every other game I've tried on this laptop with 1080 res besides this and Skyrim.

I think this is plenty of power but the HD is what is holding most back.. A SSD would probably help a lot, and is very nice to have anyway. Maybe that Ramdisk program will help, still haven't tried it out yet.
